ps: And don’t you know my integrity, which is the best Korean entertainment?! I was still discussing in the group whether I would lose my integrity! Of course, the neuralgia on the back of my head has been significantly worsened recently. You can tell me if you find typos or missing words or paragraphs with unclear ideas... I will correct it seriously.

"The first question comes up." Kim Jong-ming asked calmly with a skewer of grilled sausages. "What do you think is the theme of the program "Invincible Youth"?"

"Of course it's youth." Li Xiuman spread his hands and replied. "Is there a second theme? Youth is the theme. Then because idols are an indispensable element in Korean youth, seven idols, including all kinds of age, appearance, debut time, popularity, and image, are actually all different, to interpret this theme together."

"The first question is wrong." Kim Jong-ming, who was chewing the grilled sausage, gave the other party a blow. "You are talking about the idea, not the theme... Of course, this really makes it feel that you have carefully studied our "Invincible Youth"."

"What's the subject?" Li Xiuman asked seriously. "You can't do farm work, right?"

"It can be said that." Kim Jong-ming's answer caught the other party off guard. "It's just about doing farm work, or enduring hardships. Don't be dissatisfied. Senior, this is a show for the public. It's not enough to have a star or idol. It needs to have a positive theme or something positive... It sounds a bit fake, but in fact it's just that. "My Knot" shows the beauty of love and marriage; "Infinite Challenge" several old men below the national average line strive to realize their dreams in life; "Two Days and One Nights" shows the beautiful scenery and humanities of a small place and wild place to the whole country; the real family atmosphere in the first season of "The Birth of the Family"... These things may not necessarily make a show successful, but if they don't, they will definitely not succeed."

Li Xiuman's brows have become the word "chuan". He really doesn't think this thing is a secret. Who can't do it if it's fake? Lin Yuna is still climbing the quagmire in "The Birth of the Family Season 2"... How can it ruin the image? But he also gritted his teeth and asked Lin Yuna to do it. Although this was to save the decline in ratings, he really made Lin Yuna do it. Who dares to say that Lin Yuna did not give real things for this show, and who dares to say that there is no positive energy in it?

"Back to "Youth Invincible"." Kim Jong-ming continued. "Youth is indeed a timeless idea, but if it is just a group of beautiful idols showing their youth in the swimming pool... Haha, that is called spring, not youth. So, only by letting them run to the countryside, endure hardships, and work hard... Don't worry about how unpleasant this word is, but the fact is that, only in that environment, starting from a dilapidated house, doing it yourself, from nothing to a real small village... This is a theme that fully displays youth. The so-called positive energy and theme are actually very serious things. It is not to let you deliberately show something, but to keep it seriously and persevere... I have always had a point of view that variety shows need to be interpreted with sincerity..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Xiuman instinctively retorted. "Does such things like variety shows rely on true feelings? Which g7 does not rely on their own role positioning? It's just that they act well and act like it, so... I mean you should tell me how to integrate idols into variety shows from a structural perspective, just like... It's like... I mean I don't expect word of mouth, box office, and ratings. I just want to do a business based on business investment... It's like... superimposing a fan-like group variety show on this large variety show, so that everyone can benefit and win-win... Taking a few idols to play variety shows is a model you created with "Youth Invincible"..."

"Senior, you think too simple." Jin Zhongming had a little feeling after drinking a few glasses of wine, and his gestures began to grow involuntarily. "The "Invincible Youth" is not called superposition, and the seven of them did not rely on fans like the group variety show. In fact, your fan effect does not exist in my show at all! This show is not as simple as you think. At least the seven girls have given their sincerity. Their presentation and attracting audiences have nothing to do with your idol fans' theory!"

"Let me tell me." Li Xiuman refused to give in.

“Do you want to hear long or short?”

"It's long. Anyway, I have time today, um... you start with sunny!"

"It's hard to say about sunny... we are too familiar with both of us, and we can't help but be biased."

"Then let's talk about Goo Hara."

"Gou Hara is from my company. If you say too much, I'm afraid you think I'm selling melons in Wang Po."

"Tell me about Yuu…Park Hyomin."

"If you don't want to mention her, it will arouse my sadness. Eun-jing and I broke up, do you know?"

"…Oh!…Then talk about the oldest narsha!"

Kim Jong-ming didn't find any reason this time. He pondered for a moment and began to comment on narsha from the perspective of the main mc of the show: "The senior thinks that narsha in the show is the most impressive and also lays the foundation for her role positioning? By the way, did the senior watch this show?"

"Nonsense, I have to watch more than five times in one episode!" Li Xiuman replied disdainfully. "I thought I saw through it, so I tried to imitate you who did "The Birth of the Family Season 2"... Go back to Narsha, that, the most representative scene should be when she stuffed an apple into her chest and pretended to be a big-breasted woman... right?"

"Is it strange?" Kim Jong-ming said to Lee Soo-man with a weird tone. "If her behavior, if it is placed on ordinary celebrities, would probably be called hypocritical and artificial, and steal the limelight, right? But... in fact, it gives people a very real feeling, but it seems very unpretentious and very natural... right?"

Li Xiuman didn't say anything.

"It's 30 years old." Kim Jong-ming poured himself another glass of wine. "This is a so-called end point of youth, just like the song sang, 'I don't believe you are a female classmate without a story'..."

Li Xiuman glanced at the other party strangely. He was sure that he had never heard of such a song.

"However, when it comes to the four words "childishness" of these people, narsha may be the most 'naive' among these people. First of all, she enjoys the fun of the show. She does not care about her own image, often makes herself laugh at her age, is very devoted when playing games, is always naive and unrestrained."

Li Xiuman nodded.

"Secondly, Narsha's outfit is undoubtedly the most 'naive'. She often wears exaggerated pair of ponytails, and the big glasses frames often make people wear a bow speechlessly. Even when she sees herself embroidered with cartoon patterns on cotton pants, she even boasts... Why did she say that? I'm a little dizzy."

"'Ah, why am I so cute today!'" Li Xiuman took the initiative to add to Kim Jong-ming, who was a little drunk.

"Yes!" Kim Jong-ming nodded. "That's the sentence. And I tell you, these things were not something we deliberately asked her to do. This elder sister is such a girl. Those things are real. She just dresses herself like a cute girl from high school, like a cosplay, and occasionally shows cuteness in the camera, not shameless... But..." Kim Jong-ming lowered her head. "She is 30 after all, and she has a mature side after all. She always works the most serious... She understands this principle, and we don't need to say that she is the one who is the most silent and serious when working... and also her relationship with the old lady in the village, considerate, kind, and sensible, right? Narsha is not playing at all. She is the eldest daughter in this program team. She is worried about everything and caring for her elders, and everything can be managed in an orderly manner."

Speaking of this, Kim Jong-ming was silent for a while, then turned his head and stared at Lee Soo-man's eyes with drunken eyes: "Back to the question you care about, what is the meaning of her like a 30-year-old man in a program that is based on youth? Why can she gain popularity? Let me tell you, people older than her will think that she is the so-called "once young" and people younger than her will think that she is 'in youth'! You don't understand these things, why are you here to discuss the gains and losses of Sunny and Yuri in this program?"

"What about Kim Hyuna?" Lee Soo-man continued to ask after a moment of silence. "She cried all day long and couldn't endure hardship. When it was cold, she could only wrap her coat. Her skill in peeling apples was indeed very good, but she immediately cried and asked for compensation when she was broken. Even when she walked along the mountain, she had to carry Kim Tae-woo on her back... Why could she get such popularity from the show? Isn't this the so-called fan-gathering effect?"

"Hyung-ah's things are the easiest." Kim Jong-ming disdained Lee Soo-man's ignorance. "She is just a child, she is busy! Sometimes she willful, sometimes she makes trouble, and sometimes she acts spoiled to adults, but this is based on the premise that she is willing to obey the command of those of us. Moreover, what you said is not because she is bad-minded, but because she really doesn't know where the road is, and she really doesn't know what to do, so she needs someone to guide her, and then she wiping her tears while complaining, but she will continue to walk obediently. You are also a father, you say, aren't such a child not adorable? Or do you think about harming people every day, and the trainees who manage their own company every day, and have forgotten the feeling of a father?"

Li Xiuman stared at the other party, but didn't say a single rebuttal.

He poured himself another glass of soju, but Kim Jong-ming didn't drink it directly this time, but pointed behind him: "Senior! Have you noticed it?"

"What?" Li Xiuman's tone became much more erotic.

"All the way, there are many people who take photos with their phones?"

"That's right."

"But few people come to me for signatures, right? Or there are very few people who follow me all the way?"

"yes."

"Is there still many people blocking at your company's door?"

“It’s getting less and less.”

"The times are different." Jin Zhongming curled his lips. "And he is moving forward quickly every moment. Now everyone has a mobile phone and a computer. It is too simple to obtain any information, so except for some brainless or underage children, almost everyone can think..."

"What the hell do you want to say?"

"I want to say that it's hard to fool everyone, whether it's fans or audiences, everyone understands. Are you doing the show with your heart or making their money with your heart? They actually know very well. Look at the movies, TV series, and variety shows in your company, what are they? Just thinking about making money, do you think the audience can't see your purpose? Do you think they can't feel your perfunctory?"

Li Xiuman's hands were a little shaking.

"So." Kim Jong-ming smiled drunk. "It's not impossible to make money in variety shows or film and television dramas, but either you have to devote your true feelings to touch them; or you have to take a professional attitude to treat these things and do a fair deal... If you don't understand this principle, don't use bean bags as dry food! If you say too much, you definitely don't understand, but give an example that you should be familiar with. This is like a song. When the main melody comes out, you still need to write lyrics, arrange, and choreograph... Anyway, you have to make a whole song around such a thing. You can't repeat the main melody 20 times and then let the members of the group do splits 20 times on the stage. That's all?"

From beginning to end, he couldn't eat a bite. Li Xiuman, who just listened carefully to the other party, suddenly stopped. In fact, he was very smart and comprehensible, but was just blinded by something. But now, the last example of the other party made him awaken as if he was enlightened.

Before, Li Xiuman always kept thinking about how to use the variety show platform to convert the popularity of idols into ratings and sponsorship fees, such as real benefits, just like concerts, signature meetings, and things that are directly exchanged for money... But in fact, the other party's example made him suddenly understand that he had made the wrong concept, and it turned out that his mentality was not right!

Whether it is variety shows, TV series and movies, they are not a platform... They are first and foremost works, just like a song and an album he is familiar with. They are literary works that require structure, theme, beauty, rhythm, execution and expression!

However, because I have been in the perspective of an idol practitioner for a long time, I always involuntarily regard things other than albums, music, and dance as purely utilitarian accessories. Therefore, although I have invested a lot of money and manpower in these fields, I actually instinctively follow the platform when doing the operation, that is, I regard film and television variety shows as something that deliberately displays idols, and ignores the perfection of these things themselves.

This is the problem! This is the fundamental reason why the film and television strategy he promoted and the variety show strategy he assisted failed all of it!

So, what Kim Jong-ming said is right.

"Then...sen." Kim Jong-ming lowered his head and drank it all. "Can we go back to Yuri and Sunny?"

"You said." Li Xiuman, who came to his senses, replied in a low voice.

"Although I don't want to talk about the specific performance of Yuri and Sunny in this show, the fact that they can get the benefits and comments now shows that they have paid a lot in the show. It is not easy for this show to be here, and more importantly..."

“What’s more important?”

"Even if they... want to give their sincerity to another show, it will be difficult in the future. As they get older, their debut years are getting bigger, their surroundings are changing, and people's hearts will also change... Even Xu Xian will hold up a red wine glass and chat and laugh at the banquet. Even Yuri, who has always seemed to be shaking about things, can drink too much at this stall and shout and confess to me... What else will not change?"

Li Xiuman's eyes became strange.

"Don't look at me like this. We are talking about variety shows. In this way, all the members have given their sincere variety shows, which are not only difficult to see now, but also less in the future. In terms of value, this variety show will not be limited to the ratings of a late night. It will continue to ferment on the Internet in the future, and it will become a benchmark in the industry... So, you shouldn't be so short-sighted to evaluate the ratings. The value of this show will continue greatly in the future; and for those two people, this is probably the only one. If you leave and get off the car, you will never feel it anymore... So, they really shouldn't have left, and they are afraid that even if the interests in Japan are tempting, they will feel a little reluctant to leave; more importantly, this variety show is the only one for me. If you want to find a variety show with this feeling again, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack... So, I don't allow them to get off!"

"I only understand the first reason...and it is far from enough for me to convince the company." Li Xiuman responded seriously.

"The second season of "Youth Invincible" has given you the company." Kim Jong-ming added another condition. "I said."

Li Xiuman nodded and shook his head again.

"As for sunny and Yuri, to be honest," Kim Jong-ming continued to flash clear eyes. "As sunny's guardian, or Yuri's parents have also handed her over to you. They are growing up and their minds are changing. You have an obligation to provide guarantees and guidance for their growth... At this time, tell them to sacrifice a little income and choose a little hard work, and they will be grateful to you in the future. Isn't it right?"

Li Xiuman shook his head and nodded again.

"Finally, don't underestimate my determination." Kim Jong-ming held the other person's shoulder and squirted the other person's face. "If you really want to force them away, then take them away. Anyway, I will ask the program team to tell the media that they are just taking a week off. It will be your freedom to let them come back at that time... Don't look at me like this. The reason why I have tried so much to reason with you has actually explained some issues and attitudes. I know what is more important and what is not important... I am better than you!"

"Is that true?" Li Xiuman said with a dry smile.

"Yes!" Kim Jong-ming was very serious.

"For young people, breaking up love is really a good growth catalyst." Li Xiuman smiled. "Yuri confessed to you right in front of this stall?"

"That's right." Kim Jong-ming turned his head and looked at the stall owner. "Boss, I'm not wrong, was it Yuri at that time?"

"You remember correctly." The stall owner who was leaning on a portion of green pepper replied calmly. "That time you got yourself drunk and shouted that was indeed Kwon Yuri from Girls' Generation. I like her appearance in "The Undefeated Youth" very much, and I will not admit it."

"Look..."

"Break up?"

"……yes!"

"If you consider my niece... I'll try to discuss with the people in the company that they can continue to stay in "The Undefeated Youth"..."

Kim Jong-ming stood up with his lips and said, "Director Li Xiuman... I was taught a truth a few days ago!"

"What?"

Kim Jong-ming turned his head and walked back and replied, "Please don't mix interest entanglements in your relationship. Whether it's passive or active, this will ruin your love! Is it a great feeling?"

"You're too sensitive!"

"I just want to tell seniors." Kim Jong-ming turned around and looked at Lee Soo-man who was still sitting in front of the barbecue stall and said with a smile. "We will make a decision on Sunny's matter to ourselves... You, who have too many interests with me, should not participate."

"Whatever." Li Xiuman nodded.

Jin Zhongming turned his head and left, but after just two steps, the man behind him stopped him again.

"Zhong Ming!"

"You said."

"You know someone... forget it!" Li Xiuman wanted to say something but stopped. "I agree to the matter between sunny and Yuri."

"That's thank you." Jin Zhongming left with no drunkenness in his body.

Watching the other party walk away quietly, Li Xiuman sighed. He actually revealed some extra information to the other party just now. In view of the fact that the other party is very reasonable today... But he finally chose to wait and see.

After years of confrontation, it is not easy to let go of your heart.
To be continued...
